Rockford Newborn Photographer // Baby Marley Gene! : In home newborn photo session for a sweet baby girl.
I’m a wedding and portrait photographer, and I’m also a disability advocate working to make the wedding industry more accessible, thoughtful, and welcoming. I believe love stories deserve to be told in spaces where care, dignity, and access are part of the experience - not an afterthought.
